Prolotherapy
PROLOTHERAPY is an Interventional Regenerative Orthopedic Medicine “IROM” , Reconstructive Injection Therapy “RIT”, Proliferative Injection Therapy, Non-Surgical treatment for spine and joint pain or Growth Factor Stimulation Therapy. It is an injection treatment designed to stimulate the body healing system.
Prolotherapy stimulates the body repair system at the weak painful areas when the natural healing process needs an assistance or has never started as the blood supply to these areas is limited. It results in new connective tissue production in order to strengthen the ligaments, tendons, capsules and fascia, which are the skeletal infra-structures.
